This is coming from a Year 10 GCSE student, but I really recommend that instead of using ‘shows’, you use words and phrases such as ‘derives connotations of’, ‘portrays’, ‘conveys’, ‘we can infer’, ‘evokes’, ‘alludes’, ‘connotes’, ‘crystallises’, ‘delineates’, ‘projects’, etc. These are words off the top of my head that my teacher very strongly recommends to use instead of shows. Aside from that, Thankyou for the advice!

Anybobdy else here for last minute revision because they cba writing

So much better than Mr Bruff, more informative and concise. I feel more prepared for tomorrow!! *Update* I actually got a 9 in English language

My problem is that I forget about everything when I’m doing my exams.

If only the teachers in school made it this simple. Thank you so much!!!!

Btw IF YOU ARE IN YEAR 10 (14/15 years old) I'VE GOT A LIFE SAVING TIP FOR EXAMS!!! SPEND FOUR DAYS OF YOUR YEAR 10 LIVES MAKING REVISION CARDS FOR THINGS LIKE SCIENCE AND GEOGRAPHY AND KEEP THEM AND MAKE THEM AS NEAT AS YOU CAN BECAUSE IF YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO WILL LEAVE YOUR REVISION TO THE LAST MINUTE YOU WILL ONE DAY REALLY NEED THOSE REVISION CARDS AND DONT THINK MEH I WILL MAKE THEM IN YEAR 11 BECAUSE YOU PROBABLY WILL BE TOO LAZY AND HAVE NO MOTIVATION TO DO THEM IN YEAR 11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SPREAD THE MESSAGE XD

using this channel to revise for my paper 2 for Monday. so scared

when i started watching your videos, it boosted my confidence, and then when i went to do my paper 1 English Language i went from a 4 - 6 , idk how happy and grateful for this, ty so much Mrs Wheelan you rlly helped me so much

Here we go again. Another nights revision, another deprived sleep for me.

Hey! I watched these videos before my in class assessment and got a grade 9 for section A of the paper! Thank you!

Dear Mrs Whelans, I so greatful and I'd like to say big thank you. yours was the only online teaching I stick to since January till my exam day even though I'm not a English native speaker and today, I got my GCSE results with grade 4. I'm so thankful, it's my first attempt and I passed. God bless you. I wish I could send you flowers if you allow me 🤗🤗

Using this to revise and do homework for the mock exams i have on monday (also my birthday...) thank you for making these and making it easy to understand.

Thanks Mrs Whelan I got a grade 8 for language paper 2 and I was 2 marks off a 9. I got this result thanks to you!!

just wanted to say I’ve found your videos extremely helpful in looking at specifically how to answer each question. while my teacher does a lot of past papers with us and marks them, I’m not always entirely sure what’s relevant for each question and it’s not brought up much at school

You taught me better than my English teacher does in 1 hour. :,,)

no offence but like instead of 'shows', try demonstrates, illustrates, insinuates, implies ... etc

Hi Mrs Whelan Thank for the example paragraph, I must say you have been an angel in the form of a human as you have been a massive help this year definitely staying subscribed.

2019 nov MOCKS???

Mr Bruff makes things sometime easy and I think his videos are for grade 6-9 and urs is just amazing it's like grade 1-7 but you make things more easier to explain which is really good :D

I've been watching many channels BUT you're the Best. Informative and Brief Thank you I appreciated .#Readyfortomoz

Thanks for this video i had mock exams and it was really helpful thanks once again

people saying her videos aim for grades 4s, i got an 8 in english language thanks to her lol

Would you do an introduction or conclusion for any of these questions? Thank you!

wow, this video actually really helped me out and made me feel a lot more confident with approaching this question.thank you so much and keep up the good videos as they are really really helpful. :-)

I wrote this paragraph for question 2 what do u think any advise? If you have the time in your presumably hectic routine Thanks. Firstly, source A and Source B present difficulties at sea with contrasting mind-sets and perspectives as in source A we are told there was a 'mutiny' and Fletcher acts in a 'alarming' and 'disrespectful' manner. This suggesting that the men on board were against 'Captain Bilge' claims despite the lavishes that he provides 'tasty surprise...jig or two...well-drenched rum cake'. Here the write present difficulties at sea in a lighter manner compared to source B who presents Life at sea as a 'violent' and 'most dangerous' thing she has ever done. This suggest that it's not 'difficult to break bone' showing the severity and ferocity of the sea and harsh condition the writer is in. Here both Source A and B present differing mind-set and attitude towards difficulties at sea. Furthermore both source A and B have different attitude at sea for example in source A it says 'found to be rife with errors'. Here suggesting there were mistake and errors in the charts of north and south Atlantic however these mistake and errors do not lead directly to death contrasted by Source B where one error can lead to a fatal and catastrophic end despite wearing a 'helmet' and the long 'agonised hours' she spent preparing as ultimately it is not 'difficult to break bones up there' suggesting that life at sea in Source B is more dangerous and violent leading and could lead to a painful death compared to errors in a chart. Both sources presenting different attitude towards difficulties at sea.

Thank you so much i have exams soon it really helps!

who else is here for mondays english exam lol

Thank you so much just watched this video first video of yours going to watch all paper 2 and then chill as I don't want to over do it been watching Mr gruff for half an hour too.I feel it's helped I would've probably wrote the adjective shows hahaha good luck everyone

Thank you, you have been very helpful.m what grade would you get for that answer?m

You literally helped me get from a 3 to a 6, Thank you soooo much

I did my retake exam yesterday and omg I feel like I did my best, thank you!

This is amazing and so helpful thank you so much❤❤❤❤

What specimen paper is this

Very helpful. Thanks !

an easier way to do this question is to embed the quotes you are using as this is an 8 mark question and you do not want take too long onto it.

I was in year 6 when she posted this video.....

Ultimate last min revision lmao

A year 8 student getting this for homework great!

I have a English mock tommorow and hope I do good

Have my exam in 2 hours and I’m watching this now 🤦🏻‍♀️

Please do more videos!! With schools openening and closing constatnly we need your extra help!!

It really helped me because it was in details and perfect

I’m tryna get a grade 4 at least but I got a grade 3 recently and idk how to improve. Any tips?

On this question does it matter if I don't separate the points for example in paragraphs??

Could u do a live video in thr morningg or fridays exam

For the a "night from hell" quote would it make sense to say the weather was so bad it was seen as something so strong and powerful that it can be sent by only god or a some supernatural being .... And that the weather was so bad it was almost make belief and unrealistic

Good idea s💡

is there anyway I can get hold of a copy of this past paper so I can work along side with you during the video ?

Do you not have to split them up in to paragraphs? Like when you changed to source B should it then be a new paragraph

got this next week copying down answers now thanks

I love 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💎💎💎💎💎💎the way you explain yourself

please do more of this kind of videos xx

Thanks i have gcse exam in 2 hours

Do you not use a main quote?

For q2 it says differences but can you add a few sentences about the similarities as well.

where you describes what the quotes implies, i thought the question was only asking for a summary?

Helpful --------- Thanks

what is the top tip for getting more marks? and what mark do yyou recon a grade 4 will be out of 80 on each paper?

Very good idea 💡

Hello your videos are very helpful. Can you please do the Q4 paper 2 from the village lost their children I found that one very hard.

Very good and helpful thank you

Last minute 2019 ?

Do you need to add quotes in this question also does it have to link.

Thank you sooo much! Your videos got me 145/160 in my mocks💜

Thank you so much.🎉

Great video

I find it so much easier to learn from what other people do than with someone spending hours and hours of my life pointlessly trying to explain it to me. This is because after about half a minute of listening to a teacher all I can hear is blablabalbalbalbablablbalblbla so thanks for this video.

Thanks a lot!

Could you make another video making a PEE on the other things you've highlighted please, I am struggling on PeE paragraph & don't know how to link it.

would you have to write a conclusion or could you just leave it

shouldnt there be another paragraph when you start to say however and talk about source b?

This video was really helpful thank you! But i couldnt stop laughing of ur handwriting 😂😂

"in source EEEEEE" hahaha I love that

And are you allowed to have a paragraph that big?

boss man got an 8 with those BOMB SQUAD

My exam is tomorrow and I am sitting here learning how to write a effective / model answer. I will recommend that MR BRUFF is a really good teacher just search it up and you will see what I mean, it will help you a lot.

this was my mock when we had them about 6 months ago :/

I know its not from this extract and i dint write it however my writing is very similar. If i wrote this how many marks would this achieve? Aberfan is a small village that ‘few people have heard of’. It is ‘tucked away’ in a Welsh valley. This suggests that it is almost hidden from view and would have been similarly forgotten in history had it not been for the tragedy. In contrast, London is described as a ‘colossal city’. It implies it is huge and filled with activity. A place that is so large that it should be safe from a natural disaster like an earthquake. Whilst both also have rivers running through them, in Aberfan it is ‘black as the Styx’ which differs from London with its ‘great river’. It is implied that in Aberfan its blackness comes from the natural seeping coal, but with London, it is ‘muddy and dull’ because of man-made waste from the many warehouses along its length.

hello miss, I'm currently in year 11 and doing mocks tomorrow do you think this is accurate for now? as this was done months ago

Would anyone suggest copying this word from word in the exam, or finding other examples?
